Cat scratch disease

2020-10-19 06:15:47
Hi I have recently had contact with a kitten and it scratched me but deeper multiple times mostly near my arms and fingers. After almost a week now I started seeing round acne kind of rashes and it started spreading on my body. May I know what I need to do to stop spreading further and if it leaves a scar.
